This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Highly Recommend.

Mr. Yadegar and Mr. Soleymani represented me for a legal dispute, and I couldn’t be more pleased with their exceptional service. Both attorneys are incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and skilled, particularly when it comes to law and motion. They were diligent in their approach, ensuring every d...etail was addressed with precision and care. They had a genuine concern for my case and well-being, making me feel supported throughout the entire process. Thanks to their hard work, my legal matter was resolved successfully, and I highly recommend them to anyone seeking outstanding legal representation.

Great Attorney

Navid represented me in litigation of breach of contract by my former employer. Navid was extremely attentive and detailed during the complaint filing and discovery periods. Based on his in-depth knowledge of CA labor law, Navid structured an approach which led to a very favorable settlement. I wa...s extremely happy with Navid's service and professionalism.

Amazing attorney, amazing firm.

Navid Soleymani is nothing short of a top-notch attorney. He and his firm represented me in a business litigation lawsuit against my landlord. From the day I retained him, he has been nothing but professional, engaged, and always looking for what has been in my best interest. He was resourceful in ob...taining facts from a defendant who was less than cooperative, to say the least. Navid had a well thought out plan, and executed it exactly as discussed from fact finding and reseach, to mediation, and final settlement. Thanks to Navid and his partners, I have been compensated enough to cover my losses, and reopen my business in a new location. I cannot speak more highly of him. I give Navid Soleymani my full and resounding endorsement. You will not find a more competent attorney.

Great Job !!!

I was kept aware of everything that evolved during the case. My phone calls and emails were responded to within the same day. The outcome of the case was very good.

Posted by David | February 13, 2014

Very good attorney (and nice guy too!)

Navid is responsive, available, is thorough in collecting facts and clear in presenting situation, options, alternatives and strategy. Works towards resolution and the best interest of his client. Very reasonable in billings and sensitive to costs. Will continue to use Navid for client matters. D...avid (CPA/Business Manager)
